Example: Design the beam for the following given data?

Mu=2000kip-in
f’c=3ksi d
h
As
fy=60ksi
b=12in

d=20in

Step#1:
Finding the nominal moment.
ØMn=Mu
Mn=2000/0.9 =2222.222kip*in

Step#2:
Rn=Mn/bd2
Rn=2222.222*1000/12*202 =462.962psi

Step#3
Finding the ρ

fy  0.85 f c' 

ρdesign=0.00858

Step#4
Finding the steel section area.
As=ρ*b*d
As=0.00858*12*20=2.0592in2

Step#5
Finding the number of bars.

Step#6
Placement of bars.

2*1.5+3+2*3/8 +4*7/8=10.25<12 ok
It is ok we can used in the one layer.

Check #1
Check for reinforcement ratio.
